I'm having serious trouble with fastfalling. This is probably because I'm using a chuck+wiimote (don't have a GC controller), missing out on the C-stick really is a pain.
When I want to fastfall, I notice the game engine ignores the tapping of my control stick until I've reached the highest point of my ascent. For instance, when I get launched, I use my fastest aerial, then try to fastfall as soon as possible. This doesn't happen, simply because regardless of my controller commands the character doesn't start to fall fast. Only when the ascent is done and I start falling normally, I am able to fastfall, losing about 2-3 seconds in the process. Is this normal? I thought to cancel momentum you had to fastfall as soon as the aerial started, but it seems like the game doesn't work this way.
Is this because of my controller? Or am I doing something wrong?
